How can we defend our democracies against those who would destroy them? We talk a lot about strategies for keeping anti-liberal, nationalist populists out of power, but Donald Trump’s daily wielding of a wrecking ball shows that it’s equally important to reinforce your democracy so it can w

Quotes by Timothy Garton Ash  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“That said, the question remains: how to strike the balance between free speech and mutual respect in this mixed-up world, both blessed and cursed with instant communication? We should not fight fire with fire, threats with threats.”
Timothy Garton Ash

“A cél pedig nem az, hogy mindenben egyetértsünk - ennek még a gondolatát is el kell vetni -, hanem az, hogy pontosan megegyezzünk abban, miképpen nem értünk egyet.”
Timothy Garton Ash, Free Speech: Ten Principles for a Connected World

“Ha nem tudjuk kifejezni gondolatainkat és érzéseinket, akkor emberi mivoltunkat sem tudjuk egészében megélni. Ha nem hallhatjuk és láthatjuk embertársaink érzéseit és gondolatait, akkor soha nem fogjuk megérteni, mit jelent másvalakinek lenni.”
Timothy Garton Ash, Free Speech: Ten Principles for a Connected World
